(a) 375000
(b) 365000
(c) 355000

(a) 0.101
(b) 0.605
(c) 0.673
(d) 0.707

Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. De- chlorination is the process of removing excess chlorine from water.
De – chlorinating agents
(i) SO_2 gas
(ii) Sodium thiosulphate (Na_2 S_2 O_3)
(iii) Activate carbon
(iv) Ammonia as (NH_4 OH)
(v) Sodium sulphate (Na_2 SO_3 )

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given Q= 100 cumecs
As per Lacey’s theory, wetted perimeter (P) = 4.75 √Q
= 4.75 √100
= 47.5 m

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. For Super-elevation
e + f = V^2/127R
For plain & rolling terrain
e = 7% = 0.07 & f = 0.15
Now,
0.07 + 0.15 = V^2/127R
V2 = 27.94R
V = √27.94R

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Quick lime ⇒ CaO
Limestone ⇒ CaCO_3
Gypsum ⇒ CaSO_4.2H_2 O
Fat lime/Hydrated lime ⇒ Ca(OH)_2

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Plinth area = 150 m²
Rate of plinth area = 2500 Rs / m²
Present value of building = 2500×150 = 375000 Rs.

S6. Ans (b)
Sol. Distance (d) = 3 km
” Height of lighthouse “(h)=0.0673d^2
=0.0673×3^2
=0.6057m
